What Causes Diarrhea After Eating?

Male, age 68, not overweight, using statins and antacids. Diarrhea after eating... 5-6 episodes daily. Symptoms will last 1-2 weeks or longer, then cease for a while. Imodium is of limited help. 2014 colonoscopy was negative. Endoscopy showed GERD and beginnings of Barret s Esophagus. H Pylori infection was successfully treated. Diarrhea was minimal for 5-6 months. Recurrence of symptoms 10 days ago. Could this be an IBS issue? Shouldn t Imodium be more effective. I am 5 7 , weight is 150; non-smoker, no alcohol.

Could be IBS. Immodium is not good. Can you Intestinal stasis/ paralysis as a side effect.

If you are Nature savvy, you will be happy to enjoy harmless, may be little slow, treatment by herbal/ Ayurveda.

Now you have had enough by drugs. Pl try simple things:

Take
1.turmeric powder daily 1/2 tsp twice. May take Haridra capsules ( same content) 1 bid too.

2. Kutaja + BILAV syrup or capsules for controlling amoebic dysentry, diarrhoea, indigestion, acidity and protection of lining of GIT.

3. Panchamrit parpati 250 mg + roasted cumin seeds powder 1/2 gm in buttermilk or warm water twice a day.

4. Kutajarishta 15 ml+ equal water twice daily after meals

Find it at Ayurveda store or order online. It's commonly available in India
